I think he’s right in a sense but wrong in the numbers. The 100 intern will stay just that 100k will be 50k of 2010 dollars

I have yet to be able to easily read a single link to a mastodon post. With twitter embedded links worked really well on most sites. How do you get reach without that?

100 no but 90-95 is possible but hard to get. 70-80 is standard for consumer grade stuff

I don’t see how it ends without genocide of one form or another. Whoever wins is going to kill a bunch (more) people.

Wouldn’t they provide the best impact as relief works or as logistical sponsors? It’s not like Ukraine is short on bodies, it needs food, guns and logistics, most of your friends would have had a greater impact by providing that.

What a waste… RIP. I wonder how he ended up getting sent to the meat grinder. I had assumed people with resources were able to buy their way out but maybe not, or just bad luck.

The only thing that matters is what the fed will do. The fed and government spending is the stock market
